Dolce and Gabanna

We at Pet Shield are obsessed with protecting your pets, because we know just how special they are. We thought it’d be fun to show them off on our website! We’ll be sharing some of our favourite “pet profiles” we receive. This week’s picks are none other than Dolce and Gabanna!

Names: Dolce McDonald & Gabanna Cole (though their dog parents are now married, their owners say they haven’t gotten around to changing Gabanna’s last name yet).

Breed: Miniature Pinscher

This brother and sister were born in 2007. “My husband chose Dolce because he immediately took a little nap in his arms when he picked him up. I chose Gabbana because she was the runt of the litter. We decided to get 2 at the same time so they would have each other during the day while we were at work.”

Unlike most other dogs, these two absolutely hate car rides. When their owners go on vacation, they get to stay home and have puppy sitters come live with them.

Dolce has had a few surgeries over the years and has a thyroid issue. He is now pretty much blind and going deaf. Gabanna has had zero issues, and still gets the zoomies. Her family always jokes that she will outlive us all.

Dolce and Gabanna are typical siblings who will snuggle and cuddle each other one moment, and are a tad grumpy with each other the next. Gabanna must sleep completely under blankets. Dolce, not so much.

They love “toothbrushes” (their owner’s code word for “Greenies” treats), and their favourite song is Dolce & Gabanna (in the tune of Copacabana). His name is Dolce, hers is Gabanna.

If you’d like the chance to show off your pet in one of Pet Shield’s pet profiles, send us your favourite pet pictures and a little info on your furry friend – their likes, dislikes, a cute story about them, etc. You can send us your pet bios over Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or email us at info@petshieldinsurance.ca.
